  1. Re:True #1 Feature! on The 30 Best Features of Windows · · Score: 1

    The little toolbar next to the Start menu in older versions of Windows. Many application installers default to placing an icon there. Example. In 7, it was replaced with taskbar pinning.

  2. Re:Not perfect???? on Homeland Security: New Body Scanners Have Issues · · Score: 1

    Well, damn the side effects, I solved the problem! But I thought the idea was to harass people and make money. If they want to speed things up then they can just close the theater.

  3. Re:Not perfect???? on Homeland Security: New Body Scanners Have Issues · · Score: 1

    Anything on the side...is practically invisible to the machine.

    "Face left."
    Problem solved; give me $90m.

  4. Re:Hello, Ilya McFly !!! on Google Shutting Out Rivals, Claims Russian Search Engine Yandex · · Score: 1

    They're long-distance calls. Also, it clogged my toilet last week.

  5. Re:used or bust on If You Resell Your Used Games, the Terrorists Win · · Score: 2

    Much like every other battle in the entire history of mankind.

  6. Re:you can save a ton of $ on Technology Makes It Harder To Save Money · · Score: 1

    Hey, now, those TLC/History reality shows are edubational: they show you what's about to happen, then show a couple clips of it happening, then review what just happened. It's just like an essay.

  7. Re:I don't get it on Paramount Claims Louis CK "Didn't Monetize" · · Score: 1

    That ad was a figment of your filthy imagination, much like the second Matrix movie.

  8. Re:interesting on Japanese Researchers Create A Crab-Based Computer · · Score: 1

    He was actually in the movie? I thought they just used a plank with a paper cutout stapled on..

  9. Re:Maybe on Japanese Researchers Create A Crab-Based Computer · · Score: 1

    Fermi Bakin' Bits and chopped Celeron.

  10. Re:You're looking in the wrong place on TSA Shuts Down Airport, Detains 11 After "Science Project" Found · · Score: 1

    Blowing up a building is specifically intended to incite fear—abortion isn't (unless it's forced; then maybe).

  11. Re:Medieval times on Why Are Fantasy World Accents British? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was now!

  12. Brand brand branding on Windows 8 and Screen Resolution: WXGA Still Most Popular · · Score: 1

    It's a Laptop brand laptop. It's like cartoon branding.

  13. Re:A good start... on Microsoft's Lifebrowser Is a Prosthetic For Memory · · Score: 4, Funny

    They were working on such a project but then they forgot about it.

  14. Re:As Seen On TV! on Changing the Texture of Plastics On Demand · · Score: 1

    No, that would have to be something that's already been around for years.

  15. Re:Waste of time and money on Did Benjamin Franklin Invent Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 1

    The average person probably wastes more than an hour in changing the clocks.

    I thought that was the point.

  16. Re:Quick and Easy on IBM Scientists Measure the Heat Emitted From Erasing a Single Bit · · Score: 1

    Yeah but how do you know which bit you measured?

  17. Re:Please read this on The Windows 8 Power Struggle: Metro Vs Desktop · · Score: 1

    But one hand is already occupied touching other interfaces.

  18. Re:Validity? on For Windows 8 Users, Stardock Revives the Start Menu · · Score: 1

    Middle-click the application's taskbar button (pinned or not) to start a new instance.

  19. Re:Life is like a train .... on What To Do About an Asteroid That Has a 1 In 625 Chance of Hitting Us In 2040? · · Score: 1

    Writers who think of that option usually put the characters and track inside a tunnel or onto a long, narrow bridge (but don't let the characters hang off the side or whatever).

  20. Re:Groan.... on Redheads Feel Pain Differently Than the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    Why can't it be both?

  21. Re:Or a Blu-Ray drive on Remastered Star Trek: the Next Generation Blu-ray a Huge Leap Forward · · Score: 5, Funny

    The program isn't cheap

    At least, until somebody strips out the copy protection...

  22. Re:Nice approach, but.. on Canadians #TellVicEverything In Response To Bill C-30 · · Score: 1

    ...Stack overflow

  23. Re:Apparently on SCO vs. IBM Trial Back On Again · · Score: 1

    I always wondered why people thought she was so great. Now I know that it's because the audience is blind.

  24. Re:You can't eliminate them on Obama Pushes For Cheaper Pennies · · Score: 2

    We have a lot of $0.99, $1.95, $9.98 bullshit, which I guess is supposed to make the price seem lower ("$0.99? That's not even a dollar!"—I assume that works on people who set their clocks 20 minute ahead so they're on time); rounding would ruin that.

  25. Re:You can't eliminate them on Obama Pushes For Cheaper Pennies · · Score: 2

    Some states have sales tax, so that $9.95 becomes $10.74 (depending on the tax rate, of course).
